Operationally Responsive Space (ORS)
ORS is focused on making space assets and capabilities available to users, taking advantage of highly automated micro-satellite buses, modular payloads, common interfaces, tasking and data dissemination, and low-cost, rapid-response launches.
Remote Sensing, Earth Observation, and Imaging
Advances in imaging are enabling broader mission potential for small satellites, particularly in the remote sensing and Earth observation arenas.
Space Situational Awareness
Recent events and increasing amounts of space debris have highlighted the need for greater awareness in and of the space environment. Small satellites and hosted payloads can be readily employed to provide essential monitoring for potential threats to valuable space systems.
Science and Technology
A wide variety of complex and advanced science missions are now possible using small satellites. This entire range of small payloads is largely orbit independent and allows more focused missions by decreasing cost and production time while increasing opportunities.
Communications
With the increased global reliance on mobile data communications -- the satellite "global mobile" market is poised for significant growth.
